The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) uses undercover, or covert, testing to approximate techniques that terrorists may use to identify vulnerabilities in and measure the performance of airport security systems. During these tests, undercover inspectors attempt to pass threat objects through passenger and baggage screening systems, and a

National Airspace System congestion causes air traffic delays that create unnecessary costs for passengers, airlines, and air transportation dependent businesses. In addition to financial impacts, delays also create environmental costs.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration Office of Environment and Energy, in collaboration with Transport Canada and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, is developing a comprehensive suite of software tools that will allow for thorough assessment of the environmental effects of aviation. This paper will provide an overview of the ED

High levels of low frequency noise are created by aircraft during take-off and landing. A by-product of low frequency sound incident on a building façade is the excitation of structures within the building into vibrations. Such acoustically-induced structural vibrations may be imperceptible, but they may cause rattle. Rattle is caused by the interm

Passive sound insulation is one of the mitigation strategies that are used to control sound energy transmission into homes. Current sound insulation methods are designed to reduce noise in the frequency range of greatest hearing sensitivity, typically above 250 Hz. In this frequency range, sound insulation is primarily governed by the mass of the s

The FAA Aerospace Forecasts are developed to support budget and planning needs of the FAA. The forecasts are developed using statistical models to explain and incorporate emerging trends of the different segments of the aviation industry.
The Partnership for Air Transportation Noise and Emissions Reduction (PARTNER), an FAA/NASA/Transport Canada-sponsored Center of Excellence, initiated a three-year project to study land use and noise complaint patterns for a set of selected airports. The project was undertaken in an effort to better understand the dynamics of land use management, p

The study reported here investigated the impact of RVSM when it was enacted over the domestic US in 2005 for a larger segment of data than previously assessed, and used more advanced modeling methods in an effort to more accurately assess the benefits. The study was conducted jointly by the US Department of Transportation Volpe Center (Volpe) and t

To assure consistency in agency planning, the Office of Aviation Policy and Plans provides an extension of its annual 12-year forecasts of aviation demand. Although forecast values are shown for specific years, year-to-year fluctuations are difficult to forecast precisely. Therefore, the projections reflect the trend of average conditions expected

The Office of Environment and Energy in the FAA faces a fundamental challenge: How can it organize its efforts to fulfill existing, internal FAA goals and priorities while simultaneously serving as a catalyst to help re-align the efforts of all the stakeholders associated with aviation and the environment? The Office, known as AEE (for Aviation Env

This report discusses the results of a study mandated by the U.S. Congress in 2003 to examine and mitigate the environmental impacts of aircraft noise and exhaust gases; and to increase the fuel efficiency of aircraft. The report is divided into six sections, which present the relationship between the environment and aviation, and provide recommend
